INTRODUCTION
This portable air conditioner can alter the room temperature and humidity. It has multiple functions of cooling dehumidifying
(drying) and fan ventilation, and can be moved from room to room and transported from building to building easily. In addition,
the desired humidity level can be set between 35-85%.
The air conditioner can maintain set room indoor air temperatures between 17°C and 30°C. The set room temperature is
displayed on the remote control and in the control panel on the unit. This does not mean that the air conditioner will necessarily
reduce the actual room temperature to the set room temperature. This appliance operates at half the noise levels of most other
portable
airconditionersandisidealforbedrooms.
This POLOCOOL “Whisper” portable refrigerated air conditioner model PQ10
C
has a maximum cooling capacity of
2.
7
kW.
This is sufficient to cool rooms with a floor area of between
12
and 18 square metres
.
• Do not place the air conditioner or plastic window slider in direct sunlight. Close all curtains in the room being cooled.
• For maximum cooling (COOLING MODE), set the temperature at 18°C and the fan at HIGH. After approximately
3 minutes, the compressor will turn on and cooled air will come out of the front air outlet. Warm air will also come out of
the rear outlet and into the exhaust hose.
• In COOLING MODE the air conditioner will not cool unless the set temperature is below the existing room temperature.
• In COOLING MODE once the existing room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan continues operating and
the compressor switches on and off to maintain the set temperature within the room.
• For maximum cooling output keep the exhaust hose as short and as straight as possible. Minimise bends which can
reduce the maximum cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Elevate the air conditioner if necessary.
• Make sure the air intake and outlet grills are unobstructed.
• Clean the filters at least once every two weeks.
